Tag: Max Boyla

Max Boyla is a contemporary sculptor whose work investigates the emotional and symbolic charge of objects. Working primarily with bronze and metal, he transforms everyday items—chairs, benches, ladders, architectural fragments—into forms that feel both familiar and quietly estranged. Through subtle shifts in scale, balance and surface, his sculptures hover between function and metaphor, inviting reflection rather than use.

Boyla’s practice is rooted in process and physicality. Casting, patination and repetition are central, allowing traces of making to remain visible while lending his works a sense of endurance and weight. Objects often appear worn or paused, as if carrying the residue of human presence without depicting it directly.

Across studio works and public commissions, Boyla explores themes of absence, memory and human interaction. His sculptures operate as anchors in space—calm, restrained and open-ended—offering moments of stillness where meaning emerges through proximity, touch and time.
